Apple plans to introduce the small MacBook Pro with Retina Display next week

The new MacBook will go on sale soon after the October 23 launch

Apple is reportedly planning to unveil the iPad mini next week on October 23, but the Cupertino-based company is apparently pondering the debut of another important product.

The editors over at 9to5macwrite that Apple wants to debut the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display during the same invitation-only event that will witness the launch of the smaller iPad.

Citing “a consistently reliable source at a high-profile U.S. retailer,” 9to5mac reports that the new 13-inch MacBook Pro will come in two different hardware versions featuring different processors and storage.

Pricing is obviously yet to be confirmed, but the new product will most likely be a bit more expensive than the standard 13-inch MacBook Pro, just like it happens with the 15-inch model.

More information, however, is likely to emerge soon, as we get closer to the official launch day.
